Explanation
This activity is used to generate a bar graph that depicts supply,
demand, and project balance for a given range of date intervals.
Prerequisites
- An inventory part must have been defined.
- A period template must exist in the Period Template Maintenance
window.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the system generates a two-dimensional bar
